The Story in Brief
Several people were wounded in a shooting in the Danish town of Holbaek on Sunday. Police received the report at around 3:45 pm local time and said the incident is believed to be a settling of scores within criminal groups. The perpetrators were last seen fleeing in a white car, authorities said, asking the public for information. The victims' conditions have not been disclosed. Holbaek lies about 70 km west of Copenhagen.
The Indian Opinion
Gang violence is often painted as an exclusively American or Indian problem, but this Holbaek shooting shows it can erupt anywhere. The quick police characterisation of a “settling of scores” suggests organised criminal networks exist even in small Danish towns. While some may use this to stoke fear about immigration or Nordic safety, the real test will be arrests and convictions. Watch for the number of wounded and whether the white car leads to suspects.
